did you know there is a valsalva device in astronaut’s helmets so that they can scratch their nose if/when it itches?

Ridiculous. A real man would hold his breath, take the helmet off, scratch the itch and get back to work.

I always wondered how they dealt with itches and other things.

Interesting article.
